He's just making a point.

It's two, stitched together. Two photos, I mean, not two coaches..

It gets better - "Trains resuming through Castleknock, at reduced speed, due to a cygnet fault " -

..causing inbound delays at Castleknock - honestly.

Lovely. ..neat little "catch-points"..

It'll be the effects of the exposure to all the acid.... It been great to watch the evolution in this thread. Can there be anywhere further to go?

This looks absolutely marvellous. ..apart from a possible touch of mastitis..

Glad you got planning permission for that excellent bridge...

That right-hand one's had a fair bang......

I've had this query from a friend - i hope this e mail finds you well. I'm still recovering after a bout of pneumonia so getting there slowly. i am carrying out research for a new book and I was hoping that you may be able to help me. In July 1921 three auxiliary police officers were on a train from Tralee to Dublin. the train was held up by the IRA in Ardfert. They wanted the mail but the police officers managed to shoot it out with the attackers and managed to drive the train out of the station, saving the mail. Very little is known about this but the officers all got the constabulary medal for their actions. I am looking for info on the following. What would the carriages and the engine have been like in 1921. what was the layout of the interior of the carriages why would the train have been in Ardfert if it was going from Tralee to Dublin. Looking at it on a map, Ardfert seems out of the way. what was the route? is it difficult to drive a steam engine (one of the officers was an engineer in civie street) any help on this would be greatly appreciated thanks -any thoughts on this, chaps?

This might be of some interest, if you're visiting Bray. http://www.irishrail.ie/blog/post?a=551

Great stuff - well worth you getting wet for our benefit.

Marvellous rendition of the weird footbridge. The Tourist Board might prefer it if the sky wasn't totally cloudy.......

I'll look forward to that - electric trains without the 'knitting' - it's the way forward.

Excellent. This sort of system will come back into use in the future, I'm sure.

Just show 'em the worm......

And a historical display at Hazlehatch.

Treats being handed out this morning.

As Ed said in a previous existence - "Forty shades of orange".

To boldly go.... A layout is never too big.

Yes.
